Notas del editor
Often invest more on correcting failures Quality companies invest More on preventing and appraising quality Less on correcting defects Prevention is inexpensive compared to repairs or replacement
Companies that “get” quality are rewarded not just in improved quality of their products and services, but in their business results
Economics of quality specifically for builders - Do builders see a need for improvements? Can we expect similar results for builders who implement effective quality management practices?
Note: this is a compilation of data from award winners but each statistical result only represents those companies for which data was available. Judging on Leadership, Strategic Planning, Performance Management, Customer Satisfaction, Human Resources, Construction Management, Trade Partnerships, Business Results
Warranty costs as a % of gross sales/revenue Warranty cost per home Warranty costs per year per home sold
100% homes Green Built Home certified and ENERGY STAR labeled and over 50% of construction waste recycled
material variance (difference between ordered and required quantities)
Design and Specification Prerequisites Details Jobsite conditions Assumed order of work SOW Inspection checklists (Job ready, phase, and final)
Inspection Process - Will vary from some degree based on the type of remodeler and remodeling activities - Will be further developed based on the BA remodeling target audience and experience gained from greater work with remodelers and existing homes
